Thanks to the Greater Milwaukee Foundation & the Jane Bradley Pettit Foundation Apprentices will identify a “person of positive influence” from their neighborhood & will approach this person about being the subject of a mixed-media portrait. We will host a reception where Apprentices will interview and photograph his/her subject. They will then design a portrait of their subject. This art work will be unveiled/auctioned at an event at ArtWorks, during the January 2011 Gallery Night & Day event.
